Hello Tony,

Following are steps to reset FI.

The only thing you’ll need is a console cable for the fabric interconnect(s) that you want to recover the passwords on. When you’ve got a connection to the console port of the FI, here are the basic steps:

Reboot the FI

Since you cannot login, you need to remove power to the FI by either removing the PSU’s or the power cords (whichever are easiest for you to reach)

Press ctrl+shift+r a few times as the interconnect boots to interrupt the boot process

<side note> In a normal boot, the FI is programmed to three specific images:

kickstart (kernel)

system (system)

management (UCSM)

This happens automatically. If something goes wrong with the boot process, the FI may stop after, before, or during any of these three stages. Depending on where it stops, you will have varying levels of functionality.

By interrupting the boot process, you must individually load the images yourself. If you were to reboot at any stage again, the FI will default back to its programmed boot sequence.

This should leave you at the extremely useful, yet very unfriendly <loader> prompt.

The loader has a very limited command list (below):

loader> help

? Print the command list

boot Boot an image

dir List the directory content

help Print the command list or

reboot Reboot the system

resetcmos Reset CMOS to factory defa

serial Serial console settings

set Set network configuration

show Show loader configuration

First, we need to know what kickstart we can invoke via the “boot” command. To get that, type the following:

dir

You will see output similar to the following:

loader> dir

bootflash:

lost+found

ucs-6100-k9-kickstart.4.0.1a.N2.1.1e.bin

ucs-6100-k9-system.4.0.1a.N2.1.1e.bin

sysdebug

chassis.img

nuova-sim-mgmt-nsg.0.1.0.001.bin

[output truncated]

The kickstart is in bold above. To boot off of this image, I would type:

Boot ucs-6100-k9-kickstart.4.0.1a.N2.1.1e.bin

This will load kickstart and stop at the boot prompt. Form here type:

switch(boot)# config terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

switch(boot)(config)# admin-password mypassword (where mypassword is the password you want to use)
